Company:

Santa Cruz Biotechnology

Product Name:

Alix (1A12) Antibody

Catalog Number:

sc-53540

Clone Number:

1A12

I used this antibody to identify Alix in extracellular vesicle samples and cells from umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells. I had to use a stronger concentration 1:100 dilution to get the appearance of bands. The bands were smudged but clearly visible.
